Yes, you can cross the tracks at the station. There is parking both north and south of the tracks at the station too. |
I sound like a townie but +1 We moved a few years ago and really love it so far with two small kids. It is possible to find houses but they do tend to go very fast (similarly to many area neighborhoods). |
We moved to North Kensington a few years ago and love it for our 3 and 5 year old! I've commuted by MARC, Metro (Wheaton), and car... and prefer Metro to get down to Penn Quarter (although parking at MARC is free compared with Metro). We have an au pair for childcare and it's worked out well for us - there are a lot of au pairs/nannies in the neighborhood and a bunch of amazing preschools. Most of the families moving into our neighborhood have preschool-aged kids or babies - it's a lovely community even if you're not in the "most desirable" parts of Kensington ![]() |
And there’s a farmers market in the south side parking lot on Saturday. You can park in the north lot and walk across the tracks for that too. |
